  • - Hey, good morning everybody

  • and welcome to the vlog.

  • You know it's gonna be a great vlog

  • when I have a rabbit in my hand,

  • I've got Lucy ready to go.

  • Yeah, that's right, we're gonna feed some giant snakes,

  • and we're gonna feed the rest of the Reptarium as well.

  • She is ready to go.

  • Woo! (screams)

  • That's an adrenaline rush.

  • That's the way I like to start my day for sure.

  • I'll tell you what, you never wanna get a food bite

  • when it comes to an animal like that.

  • I'll talk more about that in the vlog.

  • But, again, we're gonna feed our giant snakes.

  • We have rabbits, we have rats, we have mice.

  • We're gonna be feeding the entire Reptarium,

  • it's gonna be a great day.

  • For those of you that like feeding snakes,

  • I think you're gonna like this vlog.

  • Next stop is Ivy, the green anaconda.

  • She is way up top again.

  • Not in exactly the best position,

  • meaning that I have just go right in the cage

  • and hopefully she is gonna be ready to take it.

  • Come on, girl!

  • Oh my gosh, what the heck.

  • Seriously, this-

  • Oh my gosh.

  • Ow!

  • Okay.

  • Here you go, Ivy, here you go, girl.

  • Oh, (laughs)

  • I kinda figured that was gonna be the case,

  • that she was gonna jump out at, like that.

  • She was just so tucked back there,

  • if I went in with my arm, I knew I was within

  • striking range and there was nothing I could do.

  • So I gave her the little butterscotch,

  • and she took that rabbit like a champ.

  • Next up is my girl Perdita.

  • Hey, girl!

  • And she is definitely lookin' like she is ready to go.

  • Here you go, baby, want a little food?

  • Aw, there you go sweetheart.

  • She is such a gentle soul, I tell you what.

  • And really there's a couple types of bites, right?

  • I've talked about this in the past,

  • and the fact that there's, like the defensive bite

  • that is, "Get away, I'm afraid,"

  • They're just trying to get away,

  • and then there's the food bite.

  • The food bite is always a mistake

  • on the keeper's part, right?

  • It means that somehow I got in the way of them,

  • thinking that my hand was food.

  • Maybe they missed the rabbit, missed the rat, whatever,

  • continued to lunge and grab at you.

  • That is definitely the worst bite because

  • they're grabbing, they're constricting,

  • they're not letting go.

  • Whereas, defensive bites are typically bam! Bam!

  • And they're done, right?

  • Now, again, it's always our fault when we get food bit.

  • And even then, you know, it's not the end of the world.

  • I've been food bitten tons of times,

  • even by really large snakes, and I've

  • never even been to the hospital.

  • That's not to mean you can't be,

  • but I'll talk more about that as we get feeding.

  • (techno music playing)

  • Hey guys, check this out this is actually really cool.

  • Nova and Lilith, of course, down here,

  • she's always kinda up in the branch way up top,

  • and he's been kinda courting for the last little bit.

  • As I walked by I saw him bobbing his head,

  • and she's down here which is really good,

  • because, remember, she's laid two clutches,

  • but it didn't look like she was gonna lay a third.

  • She's starting to swell up a little bit,

  • I think she might actually lay a third clutch.

  • And the fact that they're down together,

  • he's bobbing, he's courting, probably gonna mate,

  • that is pretty exciting.

  • We've got seven more eggs that still look good,

  • that should be hatching in the next, I don't know,

  • week and a half, two weeks tops?

  • The four little babies are doing amazing,

  • getting another clutch?

  • That would be pretty awesome.

  • Next up is the Dominican Red Mountain boa.

  • Mr.Nubbins here, he is such a cutie.

  • Come on, little buddy!

  • There you go.

  • Aw, that is so awesome.

  • I love these guys, they're so cool.

  • They're just a weird kind of boa, you know,

  • they're long, they're slender, they're cool.

  • I'm happy that we have one here at the Reptarium,

  • and he is a beauty.

  • It's great that Nightfury has graduated-whoo!

  • It's great that Nightfury has graduated up to rabbits.

  • He's really putting on some size now.

  • Here you go, bud.

  • Oh, wow he's being weird tod-

  • Oh!-There he goes, he grabbed it now.

  • He was being a little weird, it's like,

  • "I don't know if I want that."

  • Again, sometimmes when you switch them from

  • rats to rabbits, they can be a little apprehensive.

  • So, uh, the more I feed them rabbits,

  • the more he's gonna be going with it, so,

  • uh, definitely a nice meal for my buddy Nightfury.

  • Daisy is definitely ready to eat,

  • there is no doubt about it.

  • And, again, what I always say is that

  • the way you really avoid injury when

  • you're getting bit is to not pull away, right?

  • That's why I've never been to the hospital

  • from a bite, because whether it's a food bite

  • or it's a defensive bite, I always go with the bite,

  • and that's kinda how you stay away from rippage, right?

  • Because that's how you can really get hurt.

  • But let's go ahead and get Daisy a little meal here,

  • because she is ready to go.

  • Here you go, baby!

  • Here you go.

  • Oh my gosh.

  • Whoa!

  • That was aggressive for her, she normally doesn't

  • take food that aggressively, so, it's good to see her

  • turned on like that, but hoo doggy, girl!

  • She was really ready to eat today.

  • Next up is Casper!

  • I can't see Casper's head,

  • so I have no idea where he actually is.

  • I have to be a little careful with this one.

  • Casper! Where you at, buddy?

  • Where you at, bud?

  • Where you at?

  • I don't know where he's at.

  • Where you at?

  • Come on, Casper.

  • Here he is.

  • Whoa!

  • Come on, Casper.

  • Come on, buddy.

  • Huh.

  • This is unusual, Casper doesn't ever refuse food.

  • Come on, buddy, wanna try?

  • Tell you what, I don't think Casper's gonna eat.

  • Look it, he's just cruisin' up

  • like crazy trying to get away,

  • so, I'll go ahead, skip Casper.

  • That's kinda how it goes.

  • Over here at the Reptarium, I'll be honest with you,

  • snakes almost always eat, but every now and then

  • they go off, so what can you do?

  • I'll just leave Casper alone for the night,

  • and let him cruise around by himself.

  • Sorry, bud!

  • (techno music playing)

  • And I realize that not pulling away from

  • something kinda striking at you

  • is totally counterintuitive, right?

  • Because our reaction is to jerk away as soon as

  • we're gonna get bit, like we can avoid the bite.

  • But trust me, it's way better not to.

  • And speaking about an animal I don't wanna get bit by

  • Butterscotch is one of 'em.

  • So let's go see if she wants to eat.

  • She's usually very acrobatic.

  • Uh-oh, uh-oh.

  • here she comes.

  • Here she comes.

  • Oh my gosh, come on, girl.

  • Whoa!
